Old and New w. c.e...us.

Naturally there is war to the knife be-
tween the advocates of the old and those
of the new systems. The new men say
that naval warfare has reached that point
of scientific development that man needs
be scientist in order to be good officer.
The older officers admit the necessity for
all advance over the methods employed
with wooden vessels and sailing ships, yet
don't agree to the proposition that in four
years young fellow can acquire all the
sciences. They say with truth that every
thing done now at the academy is purely
experimental, while many things, like
giving the cadets meant for line officers,
the engineers and the naval constructors
all exactly the same course of instruction,
are preposterous. Nothing wider apart
than the duties of these officers can be
imagined. An engineer doesn't need to
know how to build ship, nor ship
| builder how to navigate vessel, yet they
are turned out In batch on graduation
day, all having gone through precisely the
same course of instruction.
Funny stories arc told about these
walking compendiums OF universal
knowledge. One Saturday some time ago

the Constellation for cruise down the

cadet engineers and their instructor-all

There is trouble brewing among
the railroads already, under the new
law. Peace cannot long continue
and when thieves fail out honest men
get their dues. There are indications
OF fight all along the line, and some
of the roads are getting rid of their
conservative utfi,'iais and replacing
them with more aggressive men, that
they may deaf harder blows. Freights
are not going t. remain way up i'll
the skies. Ii w"Wtl not he natural.
Every road has what it can earn, and
cannot pool its earhiI IS with those of
some other road. Every road, there
fore, will want all it can get. and if it
can secure an advantage 1T would be
a curious exhibition for it to decline
to take it. We may expect general
cutting of rates. Butwha we want
to do is to enforce faithful execution
of the law which can be secured only
by steady agitation of the subject
and thorough organization of the peopl
The law contains provisions that are
cl ca rly i'm the interests of the people
and we must compel the commission
to give us the benefit of these pro-
visions. 1t is already announced that
some roads are violating the law in
the matter of passes. Let any one
who knows of such violation report it
to the commission, with the evidence
sustaining it. The commission cam
not act without Information. The
law comet enforce itself. In the
first place the commission must be in
formed of acts of violation, and as a
rule this information must come from
the people. One great merit of this
law is that it costs the complainant
nothing 1i;; t sGs the expenditure Of a little
time and postage to put the offending
road in the position of defendent be-
fore the commission. Every one of
us should be willing to take enough
interest in the law to give any inform
alton of violation of its provisions
which we may possess. Keeping our
eyes open for offences against the law
let us be reasonably patient and al
ways firm. remembering that the
matter is a complicated one, and that
it will require time for the commission
to get it fully in hand-Western

FREE TRADE.

The reduction, of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from Proprietary Medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers
as we'll as relieving the burden OF
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's August
August Flower and Boschee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty
six cents per dozen has been added to
increase the size Of the bottles con-
tanning these remedies, thereby. CIV
inc one-fith more medicine in The rs
cent size. The August Flower for
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, and
the German Syrup for Cough and
Lung troubles, have perhaps, the
largest sale OF any medicine in the
world. The advantage of increased
size of the bottles will be greatly ap.
preciatcd by the sick and afflicted, IN
every town and village In civilized
countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents

NIGH HAWK,

The attention of breeders is called
to this trotting bred stallion: His
color, black small star, little white
on inside of right hind foot; fully 151a
hands; weight about HOO pounds.
Foaled May, 1875, at Lodi, Wis. The
property of Clark Babcock. Head
fine; neck long, and with good
arch, set well upon a good pair of
shoulders; back short, with hips and
stiles immensely developed; legs
and feet perfectly sound and of the
true Black Hawk type. He has the
nervous action of the Morgan, with
the high knee action peculiar to the
Black Hawk family; has splendid
full name and tail. In short he is in
all respects, very good representa-
tive of the old Vermont Black Hawk.
While he has plenty of life, he is of a
mild disposition, gentle and kind,
under all and any circumstances a
very fine driver.
Each and every breeder is requested
to look at this stallion; look at him
in detail; from his nose, to the tip Of
his tail. His color is black, one OF
the handsomest and toughest colors
Look at his large nostril; his finely
shaped, we'll set, clean head: his
small ears; the breadth between his
eyes; the kindness which beams out
of those eyes; his beautifully arched
neck; his full chest; his sloped
shoulder; his short back; his long
hip; his beautifully formed rump
his fine tail and the style i'll which
he carries it; the space from his fore
to his hind legs, as compared with thu
length of his back; his clean, hare
hickory like legs, not a particle o
meat on them; and lastly notice thu
perfect soundness of his feet. If you
like the form and size of the horse
ask for and receive copy of his pedi
gree and speed record. Night Hawl
will make the coming season at Hall
Ranch, except upon Wednesdays ant
Saturdays when he will be in tn,
village of Morris. He will stand OF
his own merits as a getter of genera

and carriage horses.

Under the new Interstate COM
